“Here is a shot of the first creature I ever created when I was writing the skin system 2.5 years ago. I called him the Debug Squid.”
- - Chris Hecker
The Debug Squid is said to be the first creature ever created in an early version of Spore, created by designer Chris Hecker on February 6, 2004. It is a featureless, colorless mass of limbs, vaguely reminiscent of a cephalopod, hence the name. It was built with the metaball skin system, showing the skin, wireframe, metaballs, voxelization, and a 3D print of the creature.
No official equivalent of the creature exists in the final version of the game.

Trivia
The Debug Squid's tentacles appear to be made of the vertebrae that form the main body of all Spore creatures, as if the tentacles were also part of its spine.
